uniform level at the bottom Of the ocean
and have thereon numerous submarine
instruments for weighing the water at
various points, It would not be difficult
from such observations to get contour
Of the surface Of the water. But the
navigator becomes familiar with the
ocean in all its moods by actual sight
and experience. Sailing now in the
valley Of the sea, he sees the hills Of
water, then mounting over the crest of
some wave, he looks down into the
depths on either side Of him.
Now, we cannot see air, but know that
one of its properties Is weight, SO that
the bsrometers, which show the slightest
variation or change in the weight or
pressure Of the air, reveal to the meteor
ologist similar but far more majestic
waves and hollows a-d plains In the at
mosphere. These transient atmospheric
waves or tides are the immediate causes
of all our weather changes, and 1t is only
through frequent observations at numer-
GUS points of the density, temperature
and humidity Of the aerial ocean that
weather predictions for day or two in
advance become possible. Such obser-
vstions must be made at all points at the
same moment of sctusi time, since the
geography of the atmosphere is con-
stantly changing. Such observations,
sent by telegraph to some central point,
are then placed upon map of the coun-
try, each at the point representing
the place where it was made, and enable
the trained meteorologist to trace out by
lines the regions where the air 10 heavy

barometer) and where it is light (ndi-
csted by the lowest readings of the ba-
f6meter), 90 that predictions can be
made - to where the heavy waves will
swoop down into the hollows, causing
winds and storms. As the railway official is
constantly advised of the whereabouts Of
the outgoing or incoming train and is
enabled to inform us whether they are
on time or not, 90 the tri-daily weather
map enables the meteorologist to foretell
the weather we are likely to suffer or
enjoy. Neither was possible before the
invention Of the telegraph.

1t Il fashionable to have your own boat

to the smaller craft Of this class, for
many men Of only moderate means find 1t

fashionable to have little boats, the prices
ere affected only by the ordinary laws Of

spent in decorating and making comfort

mate cost 10 nowhere near together. A
pleasure boat Of any kind that carries q
s,.il. even . catboat. indicates good
deal Of money in the pockets Of the
owner or else Wild extravagance.
Yachts had been known in American
waters for . great many years prior to
the first organisation Of the sport In
New York. During the golden days Of
American boat building, when clipper
ships were sent from the New England
yards that beat the world, there was q
widespread interest among rich men in
the problems that underlie the construc-
ting Of the best models for speed. But
although many remarkably good boats
were built during this period 1t was not
until after the war that yachting was
recognized - an organized sport, and
that annual regattas became feature Of
summer life Ill along the sesbosrd.
Thsrs are now ssventy-hve yacht clubs
In the country, twenty-five Of which are
In New York and ten in Boston. Nearly

resent the cutter style, or that
class Of boat that IL - different
as possible from the shallow skimming
dish model. The cutter 10 narrow and
sinks deep into the water, and its keel 10
deep set. The American sloop, on the
contrary, rests lightly on the water, and
although 1t has keel, the means Of &c.
curing resistance to the force of the ele-
ments brought about by the cutters keel
10 effected bv barn door called centre
board let down through the keel. And
every American, except possibly few
Anglomaniscs here in New York, has be-
come profoundly persuaded that there 10
no comparison between the merits of the
deep cutter and the shallow sloop. The
sloop 10 looked upon a. . distinctively
American institution. But 1t is an odd
fact that at the beginning Of this century
the two nations occupied exactly opposite
positions upon the model question. The
whole world, England included, frankly
admits that the first improvements on
models for ships came from America.
And It was America that first discarded
the old-fashioned Dutch model of fat.
bottomed, blunt-prowed boats that had
been the accepted standard for more than
100 years. Right here 1t may be inter-
esting to state that the queer word yacht
is from the Dutch and shows the historic
origin of the aristocrstic sport. The Or
iginal form Of the word was "jagt,"
and It was applied by the Dutch to
class Of vessels built for speed in order
to clear the seas Of pirates and smugglers.
The Dutch model remained in vogue
until the beginning Of this century, when
the Americans began to develop the
models that eventually became the basis
for the splendid clippers that were the
pride Of our marine. The advantages Of
the sharper PROV were soon seen in Eng.
land and the new model was taken up
there and developed. The English have
stuck to 1t ever since, and for more res-
sons than one. Perhaps the most i'm
portant in its bearing upon the models
Of yachts ID the system the clubs
there have Of measuring different
boats to determine how much start
one shall allow another. The plan
they adopted for this was very
complex, but In brief It graded the sise Of
boats according to the breadth Of beam
